China on Friday said it remained on high alert for intervention by Japan in the South China Sea issue, especially after the Japan's military return to the region.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei made the remarks at a routine press briefing in response to a question regarding Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's latest comments on the South China Sea issue.
"China is strongly against any country using the excuse of navigation freedom to engage in activities threatening the sovereignty of other nations," he said.
At the end of World War II, China recovered islands in the South China Sea that had been occupied by Japan during the war, Hong said.
"Japan should remember and reflect upon history," he said.
